Collector-favorite Jackie Robinson makes a favorable impression with this early 1950s Daily Dime Register Bank. Measuring 2-1/2 x 2-1/2 x 1/2," this octagonal tin treasure would easily fit on your nightstand, and the slogan "Save and Win" would prompt you to do exactly that before retiring to bed. The lid is adorned with an illustration of Jackie at bat, and small windows inform you of what day it is, and your running total of dimes saved. The sides host additional graphics with a Robinson facsimile autograph on the front, a fielding play on the left, a sliding play on the right, and the legend "Insert Dime Here" at rear, below a coin slot. Located on the bottom is a tab that instructs "Press Down at $5.00," to open the bank and release your savings. The graphics present handsomely, with great integrity and only modest wear. An unknown quantity of coins are housed within and the tally window shows an amount of 1.10, so you'll have insert 39 more dimes to determine the bank's functionality. No matter the outcome, this piece is a real winner with fantastic display appeal.

Opening Bid $150.
